“…As a result, the effective leadership exercised by coaches exerts a considerable influence on athletes’ performance and personal evolution, further bolstering the organization’s growth ( Kim and Kim, 2000 ). However, effective leadership faces challenges in this context due to increasing demands on coaches and the complex balance between individual player needs and team goals ( Jeong and Hong, 2019 ). Despite these challenges, effective leadership, especially super-leadership, which empowers organization members to demonstrate independent leadership while nurturing future leaders, is increasingly recognized as a crucial leadership style for enhancing collegiate sport teams’ sustained growth and development ( Manz and Sims, 1980 ; Manz and Sims, 2001 ; Jung and Kim, 2010 ; Kim and Yun, 2011 ; Kim, 2020 ).…”

IntroductionPromoting super-leadership is crucial for the sustainable growth of college sport teams, especially as teams are experiencing a noticeable shift towards a more horizontal dynamic, where athletes themselves are emerging as leaders. However, there is a lack of research on the effectiveness of super-leadership and its possible outcomes in the context of collegiate Taekwondo teams.MethodsThis study aims to investigate the impact of super-leadership on athletes’ self-leadership and exercise commitment and examine the mediating role of self-leadership in this relationship among collegiate Taekwondo athletes in South Korea. A total of 147 survey data were analyzed by structural equation modeling.ResultsThe findings revealed that super-leadership was found to have a positive impact on both athletes’ self-leadership (β = 0.71, p < 0.001) and exercise commitment (β = 0.30, p < 0.05). Additionally, the study reveals athletes’ self-leadership significantly impacts exercise commitment (β = 0.34, p < 0.05). Our findings also demonstrate that self-leadership was identified as a partial mediator in the relationship between super-leadership and exercise commitment (∆χ2 = 4.46, p > 0.05).DiscussionTheoretical and practical implications were discussed based on the current study’s findings.
